The lecture is focused on the guided wave theory and its application to the design of guided wave circuit in microwave, millimeter-wave and optical frequency regions. Topics included are electromagnetic fields in waveguides, the dispersion and nonlinearity of optical fibers, a coupled mode theory, electromagnetic waves in a periodic structure, scattering matrix representation, eigen excitation, and the design of guided wave circuits.
